Bucharest is served primarily by Henri Coandă International (OTP), the main international gateway and a full-service hub for Tarom alongside many major European and long-haul carriers; it typically handles the bulk of business and international traffic. Located about 16–18 km north of the city center, travel time is usually 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic, with express bus and regional train options often taking 25–45 minutes and fares commonly in the low single-digit euros. Pros: more flight choices, modern facilities and greater connectivity; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers to central Bucharest may be slower during rush hour.
A secondary option is Bucharest Băneasa (Aurel Vlaicu) Airport (BBU), historically a domestic and low-cost airport that can be convenient for short-haul or budget carriers. It sits roughly 7–9 km north of central Bucharest, so taxis or short rides typically take 15–25 minutes; some local buses and rideshares offer budget-friendly connections. Pros: close proximity to the city and quicker check-ins for certain low-cost airlines; cons: fewer international services, smaller terminal facilities and limited public transport frequency compared with the main airport.
San Francisco International Airport (SFO) serves as the Bay Area’s primary international gateway and a major hub for full-service carriers, so you’ll typically find a mix of legacy and global airlines alongside some premium lounges. It’s located about 13 miles south of downtown San Francisco; travel time is usually 20–35 minutes by BART or 20–45 minutes by taxi/rideshare depending on traffic. BART fares commonly range from moderate to mid-level, while airport shuttle and ride options vary by service. Pros: extensive international connections, plentiful amenities and ground transport. Cons: can be busy at peak times and security queues may be longer than at smaller regional airports.
